Problems with Platyderus…

This year I caught the first Platyderus in my lifesmile.gif, in the vicinity of Rostov-on-Don. He identified it from Kryzhanovsky as P. rufus. Later, in correspondence with Alexander Anishchenko (who recently worked on them), he found out that this group is very complex and that the specimen found "cannot be P. rufus", that it is most likely a new species. But it is very problematic to describe it, because the typical instances are eaten, the descriptions are bad, etc.
And so. Who else caught these beetles. and how did they determine what they were doing with this mess?
How do I even add it to the list?

I remember that rpanin put up a bug for identification, which omar identified as Platyderus. See the posts in the Definition of zhukov

Isaev, in his work on the Middle Volga region, gives this view for the region (also with surprise). So anything can happen.
